THE WHIPPING POST.
How Thieves and Other Law-Breakers
are Punished In Little Delaware.

How Thieves and Other Law-Breakers
are Punished In Little Delaware.
Had stranger, unacquainted with
Delaware's mode of furnishing thieves,
visited the county jail yard at New
Castle on recent morning he at first
would probably have imagined that
several prize-fghts were to occur soon,
writes a Wilmington correspondent.
About the middle of the forenoon the
jail-yard was thronged by motley
crowd, hooting and jeering at ten men
who stood shivering in front of pill.
lory and whipping-post. These men
resembled pugilists in that they were
stripped above the waist. In them the
braggadocio and mein so common
among pugilists were lacking AL
though hardened in crime the raw air
and the taunts of the crowd affected
them unpleasantly, and they said not a
word to those jeering them. They
were convicts, and during the week
had been found guilty of larceny or
burglary. Two of them were white
and all were young.
Promptly at ten o'c clock Sheriff Lamb
son entered the yard, and VIM. II.
Baker (white), convicted of stealing
horse and wagon, was dashed to the
post, and to his back the sheriff ap.
piled cato -nine-tails twenty times.
When Baker was taken back to his cell
Charles Mathews (white), convicted Of
larceny of clothing, was fastened to
the post and given ten lashes. Next
came six colored men-Weldon Collins,
VIM. Parsons, Robert Sewell, George
Anderson, Joseph Griffin and John
Walter, who each received ten lashes
except the last three, who each were
given five. Collins was convi ted OF
Sealing $S1 from an Italian. Parsons
stole some fence rails; Walter robbed a
companion of $35; Sewell stole some
flowers from a nursery; Anderson
crime was the theft of an overcoat, and
Griffin was stealing chickens.
In addition to receiving twenty lashe:
Baker had to stand in the pillory fol
an hour. Terry Cooper and Franci:
Bayard, both colored, convicted Of
stealing $l4 from a farmer, also stood
an hour in the pillory. The admins.
tering of the punishment was not fin.
ished until the middle of the afternoon

LONDON VEGETARlANS.

Remarks Made by Prominent Engllshmen
For and Against Vegetarlanism.
Vegetarianism is now making con.
siderable progress in London. For
long time it was confined to few in
dividusls, who were regarded by the
great majority of people as fanatics or
enthusiasts, whereas at the present
time no fewer than twenty restaurants.
exclusively devoted to the sale of vege-
tartan food, are fourishing in the me-
tropolis. Some of these provide as
many as a thousand or twelve hundred
dinners every day. No doubt many of
the customers are influenced by the
conviction that fesh-eating is a viola
ton of the laws of nature, and a fertile
source of disease, but the majority, 1 sus-
pect, resort to vegetarianism as meas
ure of economy. l was present one night
at dinner given by the Vegetarian
Society to large number of guests,
many of whom have not abandoned
the feshpots Of Egypt; and certainly
the dinner reflected not little credit
upon the vegetarian cuisine. The
favorite dish was a delicious compound
called London pie" "Haricots and
horseradish sauce" suited other pal
ates, and certain radicals present made
an appetizing meal of "mashed and
home rule potatoes" Prof. Mayor, Of
the University of Cambridge, presided;
and speeches were made with view to
show that vegetarianism conduced to
both the moral and the temporal we'll
being of man. Mr.. Kcgan Paul, the
well-known publisher, avowed his be-
lief in the vegetarian theory, but adj.
mitted that under the conditions OF
London society, although the
spirit was willing, the flesh
was sometimes weak. Rev. Brooke
Lambert, the eminent Broad Church
vicar, was sceptical as to the supe-
riority of a vegetarian over a meat
diet; but a brother clergyman from
Stafford triumphantly declared that he
not only lived on farinaceous food him.

sons and daughters without ever once

them meat. Every one was in favor

The Fine Art Of Social Life.

Not the least of the graces of social life
Is the swift conversational touch and go
unconsciously acquired in changing social
currents. The art of expressing thought
in a sentence, Of stating a fact in a word,
is social art of the highest value. 1t
may be set down as an axiom that no.
body cares for details; no one wants pre-
else and faithful biographical accounts
sprung upon their defenseless heads; no
one cares a straw for minute experiences.
For one person in a group to insist on de
failing some long story is to DO bore c
khe frst magnitude.

Five minutes later, the tunnel men of
the Excelsior mine, a mile below, taking
their luncheon on the rude platform Of
debris before their tun1el, were suddenly
driven to shelter in the tunnel from an
apparent rain of stones, rocks and pebbles
from the cliffs above. Looking up they
were startled at seeing four round objects
revolving and bounding in the dust of
the slide, which eventually resolved
themselves into three boys and a girl.
For a moment the good men held their
breath in helpless terror. Twice one of
the children had struck the outer edge of
the bank and displaced stones that shot
1,00o feet down into the dizzy depths of
the valley, and now one of them, the
girl, had actually rolled out of the slide
and was hanging over the chasm sup
ported only by a clump of chimasal to
which h chung.
Hang on by your eyelids, sis, but
don't stir for heavens sake!" shouted
n of the men, as two others started on
a hopeless ascent of the cliff above them.
But a light, childish laugh from the
clinging little figure above them seemed
to mock them. Then two small heads
appeared at the edge of the slide; then q
diminutive figure, whose feet were ap-
parently held by some invisible compan-
ion, was showed over the brink, and
stretched its tiny ARM toward the girl.
But in vain, the distance was too great.
Another laugh of intense youthful en-
joyment followed the failure, and a new
insecurity was added to the situation by
the unsteady hands and shoulders of the
relieving party, who were apparently
shaking with laughter. Then the ex-
tended figure was seen to detach what
looked like a small black rope from its
shoulders and threw it to the girl. There
was another little giggle. The faces of
the men below paled in terror. Then
Polly-for it was she-hanging to tho
long pigtail of Wan Lee, was drawn with
fits Of laughter back in safety to the
slide. Their childish treble of apprecia-
ton was answered by a ringing cheer
from below.
."Darned eff l ever want to cut off a
Chinaman's pigtail again, boys" said
n Of the tunnel men as he went back
to dinner.-Bret Harte in THE Queen

1t may o be generally known that the
little seaport town of Wisplar. in the
Baltic, is virtually in the same position ms
Montague Tigg's shirt-namely, at the
pawnbroker's. 1t was in 1903 that
Sweden pawned the town to the Duclly
of Mecklenburg for a round sum Of
money. 1t was then stipulated that the
town should be restored to Sweden at T. e
end of a century, provided the sum lent,
together with interest, were paid back to
Mecklenburg.
This sista is o said to amount to sew
eral hundred million mo k4 and appar-
emily there is little chance Of Wismar be-
ing able to pay it at the date fixed. Ills
singular treaty has lain dormant in the
archives of the municipality ever since it
was made up to the other day, when
apropos Of the concession Of some land to
the customs authorities, it was exhumed
for legal purposes.-Pall Mall Gazette.

TO LIVE WITHOUT EATING.
Fattonins n Disembowc1ed Tortoisc-Tho
ScnaatIon Of Hnnrnr-Great Eaters.

Patching n ~sembowc Tortoisc-Tho
Sensation OF Hunaor-Great Eaters.
Auto-suggestion, or belief that one Is
uourished when one is not, is a great
thing, and account for many phenom-
ena otherwise inexplicable. Sedillot re-
lates an incident to prove its existence in
the animal kingdom as well. "a tor
toise weighing n kilogramme and a
half had been captured and permitted
during several weeks to wander around
the garden, subsisting on flies and other
insects. When weighing two kilo-
grammes the creature was %recaptured
and eviscerated from behind, its head,
members and shell being left intact. 1t
was then restored to its liberty weighing
fifteen grammes less than at the time Of
its first capture, and although entirely
hollow and open on its posterior aspect
it roamed about as before, swapping up
flies hat after being swallowed readily
escaped from behind. After two weeks
the animal was taken and again weighed,
when it was found to be five grammes
after its evisceration. The creature was
a croyant-that is, believed that it was
taking into its system an abundance of
aliment; it was growing fat. What
was this mysterious energy that worked
an apparent impossibility, if not auto
suggestion"
On the other hand, this sensation of
hunger is, at least, in q certain measure,
Independent of the state Of inanition. In
other words, in cases of nervous diseases
hunger may be felt acutely, with all its
distressing effects, in a body sufficiently
n%ourished. In support of this distinction,
NJ. de Parville says: 1--WE are acquainted
with q lean lawyer and a fat engineer,
both Of them ne~urasthenic If the lawyer
does not take a glass of Madeira and a
sandwich at 8 o'clock he becomes livid
and has an attack of vertigo. The engi-
neer Is tougher. For about a year he
guarded himself pretty well against his
id~iosyncrasy by smoking; but toward
1880. when he came home and smelled
the odor of the disease, if he was not
served ON the instant, he could not con-
troll himself and went into a veritable
fury. He became positively and in spite
of himself %furiously And yet,
he was fat, and had no need to repair the
losses of the organism that was already
too well nourished."
So also numerous stories are found in
all ancient medical dictionaries relative to
those great eaters whose Unsuitable
stomachs engulphed enormous masses OF
solids and liquids. Such was the case of
Tararus, who went so far as to drink the
blood of his patients and eat the flesh of
cadavers, and who was suspected of hav-
ing devoured a 4-year-old child; yet he
had a most sweet disposition when he
wasn't hungry.-Henry Howard in The
Cosmopolitan.
